What is TJD (24624)

To be fair to John, not everyone knows what a double-slip is called in the CS2. Calling it a 'double-slip' is the correct English term and is what everyone here would usually refer to it as.

Even I had to google it from your Facebook post although the number did at least hint that it was a track-piece.

From what I can tell, "TJD" seems to be a French abbreviation because all the initial hits that I got are in French. ?

In Deutsche, it's DKW - doppelkreuzungsweiche - so why start using French when 'most' of us would not have a clue? - this is an English-speaking forum after all

I'm curious, if you change the language of your CS2 to English, what is the abbreviation?

Cheers

I had similar problems with the 24624, that were solved:

The decoder I use accepts specific wiring for the purpose:

Glad you asked that I did not know either but did not like to ask lol.

Peter,

As you can imagine, I've been working on this Double Slip Switch 24624 problems since yesterday afternoon.

Anyway, I spent an all-nighter.

Here's what I've been thinking about and I'm talking to all the interested guys, especially Ray, which also has, I believe, identical problems with its double switches

The LDT S-DEC-4-MM appears to be the equivalent of the m83 60832 marklin.

The S-DEC-4-MM manages to make the movement of the double switch 100% functional, because it is independent of the energy of the cs2 by its external supply.

Marklin has the same components: the decoder m83 (60832), the k83/m83/m84 Universal Power Supply Unit (60822) and the 30 VA Switched Mode Power Pack, 120 Volts (66367).

It is enough to remove the internal decoder 74461 from the 24624, to connect the 24624 up to 4 to the 60832, to connect the 60822 to the said decoder with the 66367.

Each motor of each double switch will have its power increased, since they will all be connected to an independent and more powerful power source.

I don't know if I'm in the right one, but that's what I think I'm going to do. I'm waiting for your opinions and of course... Mike's.

I sent him my suggestion

Now I'm going to change my mind: I'm going to lunch

That's the question.

I know that a few M83s can be placed next to a 60822 and a single 66367. A 66367 per M83 would ensure that each engine has the power it needs.

I know that a few M83s can be placed next to a 60822 and a single 66367. A 66367 per M83 would provide each engine with more than enough power. 4 x 63367 + 4 x 60822 is too expensive.

I wonder if I could not combine this: 2 x 60832 + 1 x 60822 + 1 x 63367 and 2 x 60832 + 1 x 60822 + 1 x 63367 .

Do you think so? Me, I would be for

Me, when I read your TJD.

Wolfgang

Make your life not easier ? Mais non mais non ...yesss of course

In truth, I explained that it was an involuntary reflex on my part when I used the abbreviation in my native language.

Serge

Yes you can - RTFM - if you do not take article #63367 (BTW this article is at Maerklin not existing), but take #66367.

Hello Serge,

I do have similar problems. But with the motor (74490/74491) in curved turnouts (24671/24672) with the digital mounting decoder (74460) (I call it “mounted turnout package” or MTP). And the joke is, that this MTP is fully functioning using my MS 2 and the track box. Using this MTP with my CS 3+, than I got the same experiences as you do. The motor is functioning 5, 6 times and then it stops, the other one is not functioning at all.

Then I tried to switch the MTP with a MS 2 attached to a CS 3+. It achieves a better function than by the touch screen of a CS 3+, but sometimes it has also male functions.

The real surprise is, switching with the same MS 2 back to the track box, no male function arises. Meanwhile I sent an e-mail to Märklin about this strange behaviour. I cannot believe the track box provides a better digital current supply to the layout than the CS 3+.

BTW, I built extra a small test layout of about 110 cm x 95 cm. I think, it is the same problem @PeFu referred by his post #6 in this thread to another marklin-users.net thread.

Looking forward to Maerklin's answer.

Yes there is: Your m83 will be connected to the 66367 only, providing 18 volt DC. The LDT decoder is more flexible when it comes to power supply, as it allows upto 24 volt DC. I supply 20 volt DC and I can’t say that the 2 volts makes the difference. But if your setup doesn’t work, maybe they do...
